Deep, I keep my action between 4 and 5/64 at the 12th. It is a compromise height; just high enough to keep from buzzing(but most any mandolin will buzz at the 5th fret on the G string, no matter what) and give you more "pop", but still have some sustain. Of course, lowering the action a little will give you more sustain and a pretty sound, but less whallop when you hit a chop chord.
